Additional quotes by Edgar Lee Masters

Whenever the Presbyterian bell
Was rung by itself, I knew it as the Presbyterian bell.
But when its sound was mingled
With the sound of the Methodist, the Christian,
The Baptist and the Congregational,
I could no longer distinguish it.
Nor any one from the others, or either of them.

Минерва Джоунс

Минерва, селската поетеса съм аз,
осмивана, подигравана от местните дебелаци
заради тежко тяло, кривогледи очи и тромав вървеж,
особено когато Уелди Касапчето ме хвана накрая
след бясна гонитба.
Изоставена със злочестината си в ръцете на д-р Мейърс,
бавно затъвах в смъртта, плъзнала нагоре
по скованите ми нозе,
като човек, който нагазва все по-дълбоко
в леден поток.
Ще порови ли някой в селския вестник,
ще събера ли в книга стиховете, които съм отпечатала?
Бях толкова жадна за обич!
И на живот - ненаситна!
